I’m a lover of all things sports, and have been since a very young age. It doesn’t matter what it is, I can watch any live sporting event out there. I’m a graduate of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, class of 2013. I received a degree in communication studies, and management. I wrote articles on sporting events while at UNC, and have always wanted to share my views with others.
I enjoy all sports, but my favorite to watch is professional football, followed by Ice Hockey, College Basketball, College Football, then NBA/MLB. My favorite athletes are Luke Kuechly, Cam Ward, Jeff Skinner, and Kelvin Benjamin. My favorite sports teams are The Carolina Panthers, The Carolina Hurricanes, The North Carolina Tar Heels, The Atlanta Braves and The Los Angeles Lakers.
I live for sports. A coworker of mine once joked that he got rid of his cable, because if he needed to find out what was happening in the sports world, he’d just look at my Facebook page. Nuts and Bolts sports is new to me, but I’m looking forward to sharing my insight with you all, and hopefully spreading my joy and passion for sports with all of you.
